Possible Bug Report for PTracker App v3.5 Beta 1

Hi

I believe this is a bug in v3.5 Beta 1:

Try this:

1) Login to PTWin as power

2) Create New Resource

3) Enter First Name and Last Name

4) Click on Apply

I'm getting an exception in FieldDataManager.cs:

throw new UndoException(string.Format(Properties.Resources.EditLevelMismatchException, "CopyState"));

You will not get this error if you click OK or if you do the same with a New Project.

It seems to only fail when you click Apply after filling out a New Resource.

It seems that the Resource.cs may be missing a DataPortal_Create() such as:

[RunLocal()]

protected override void DataPortal_Create()

{

// nothing to initialize

ValidationRules.CheckRules();

}

But that still doesn't work.

I have found a workaround which may help discover the bug.

Add a Dummy Property in Resource.cs like so:

// Dummy variable to fix bug that prevents you from pressing Apply to save a New Resource! [let Dummy=0; in DataPortal_Create() method]

private static PropertyInfo<int> DummyProperty = RegisterProperty<int>(typeof(Resource), new PropertyInfo<int>("Dummy", "dummy property"));

public int Dummy

{

get

{

return GetProperty<int>(DummyProperty);

}

set

{

SetProperty<int>(DummyProperty, value);

}

}

Now simply modify the above DataPortal_Create() to assign 0 to Dummy like so:

[RunLocal()]

protected override void DataPortal_Create()

{

// nothing to initialize

Dummy = 0; // simply add this to Apply to save new resources

ValidationRules.CheckRules();

}

This should work.

I hope this helps!

 

 

Emmanuel.

Great catch, thank you!!

There was a bug in the way n-level undo and data binding interact and the way things cascaded down to child objects (like the FieldDataManager).

The fix is in svn.
